I'm buying all of it!
I'll admit that I was quite shocked at the 5 year gap. Actually, I was pretty pissed off. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that GSD would have willingly been gone that long from SY. But...I took a deep breath & braced myself for whatever they were going to throw at me. Upon first mention I may have been skeptical of the crappy agreement that was unwillingly made but I easily bought into it.I loved the whole show. Admittingly, I'm not sure if I would have loved it had the acting not been so f&ckin phenomenal. Sam is just unbelievable & the drunk scene totally solidified this show in my heart as amazing. Yu says everything with his eyes & he was nothing short of perfect in getting every message through to us. The chemistry of them together is fire & you feel it all.
I will say honestly that I had a love/hate feel for ZX & PSY. While I adored every scene with GSD & SY, ZX & PSY's scenes together I felt were never given enough time. However, towards the last 2 episodes I truly enjoyed their understanding of each other.
Sometimes I felt the music didn't match the scene & maybe should have just gone away. I thought they could have explored the father/son relationship a little more...like maybe SY could have had a few choice words for dear old dad. Definitely more screen time for Bing Wei & Zhe Yu would have been welcome as the end scene of the proposal would have hit a little differently had we'd been shown more of their story.
Did I cry in almost every episode? Absolutely. The acting of these 4 was exemplary. I am honestly thrilled that there is talk of a season 3 & will tune in & buy whatever they are selling!

Sorry but I LOVED it!!
This show is one of my favorites from beginning to end.Honestly, I wasn't a fan of one couple...together. I liked them individually & thought that their characters brought some humor & clarity to a lot of the scenes. Their situation was one I have tried to avoid in past shows but the other couple MADE me stay. I watched their scenes the one time through & that was enough for me. I have to say that they did a beautiful job pulling it together at the end & I really wanted to like them together. The emotions that they portrayed were conveyed very well. I truly enjoyed the acting of the parents.
Now, ChengRen? What was not to adore? From the moment they are introduced I was sold hook, line, & sinker. Li Cheng's personality is crazy & sweet & adorable & passionate &.....I can go on LOL. He's handsome, funny, dramatic!!! Teng Teng is sex on a stick. He's beautiful & sophisticated & intelligent & funny &.....I can go on LOL. Their chemistry right out of the gate is palpable. Their relationship is admirable & the respect & adoration they have for each other is real. The way they look at each other at any given moment is nothing short of fire. I loved every scene they were in together in every episode.
This show is funny & dramatic but they didn't shy away from serious topics. All of the actors were truly genuine & some scenes really were perfection.
I can honestly say that this is the first show I've watched that I absolutely enjoyed every bit of the music. It fit perfectly with the emotions of the scenes. Andrew Tan assisted this show greatly as every song of his was perfect.
I will & have watched this show several times already throughout its airing. I think this show is great & while I didn't give my attention much to the one couple, the show wouldn't have been the same without them.
